Simply a general comment on a bid having been accepted with other clubs interested and making counter offers. The decision is totally his but for me he either wants to come to Wednesday or he doesn’t - irrespective of other offers, that’s all. I often think many comments On owls talk would be better communicated in a bar than written 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancowl08 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Wow what’s not to like about this signing? He already knows the setup, he’s a good age. He has pace, he’s cheap. He’s scored 3 in 9 and had numerous other chances. Honestly, I was slightly dreading this season, but this is the 1st time Monk will have had his coaching staff and more importantly, his players in! So far, Dunkley, Dele, Windass and Brown all look great signings to me. Still plenty of time to add further! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappyOwl Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Think Windass could be a decent signing.We need a couple of more experienced players in, who have an "edge" to their game, that can help the younger lads during games and put a foot in when necessary.This season is going to be a dog fight to stay up and we will need players like Windass who have a bit of nastiness in them.I am sick of seeing us bullied on the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that 3 clubs are interested in him shows me he must not be all that bad. Useful squad player imo. To be fair though Wigan did do better without them while we won only 1 of the 9 games Windass featured in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I’ve liked what I’ve seen of Windass elsewhere and he scored some key goals for us so I don’t get why some don’t like this one. He’s pretty raw but has a lot of potential and is a battler which is what we need 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we hardly have a choice but staying up will be a tall order that's for sure. if you have 11 average players then your an average team and average teams usually finish in mid table which just might keep us up .......

Seems universal that the are very happy to see the back of him .Not what we need to hear Let's just say Wigan fans are probably numb to anyone leaving at this point. Must be absolute hell to see virtually their whole team, manager and coaching staff depart within about 3 weeks of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality balls in to the box just make sure they keep up with play. Should suit DaCruz as well. Bannan as backup for getting the ball back quickly into the box if the first wave of attack breaks down he will be there to tidy up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory yeah we will certainly be a lot quicker and more agile in the final third. Some good stats from these targets which like Luongo last season shows how the recruitment team work. I do think we will need a centre forward or two though as we won’t always be able to play in a manner that suits the likes of Brown and Leko. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah would be nice to get a couple of quality strikers, would think Monk will be looking at again the more mobile type instead of the more traditional target man.

My guess would be Kiernan Davis as it was rumoured we enquired last summer.

A strike pairing of him and Windass won’t trouble the scoreboard As we don’t score goals enough girls from other areas, that would be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toooldforthis Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Several clubs after his signature. If he doesn’t want to sign for us on our offer then move on. He was promising but not great. Get players that want to be here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
